  About Hans Sloane   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Sloane was born in 1660, the year that Britain's experiment with republicanism ended and the flamboyant reign of Charles II began.
Sloane's great strength was his willingness to put science ahead of personal kudos and accept that plants he had thought to be new might on comparison be the same as plants already described by other botanists.
Sloane was a highly esteemed physician with many distinguished patients and, in addition to many academic awards, he was appointed Physician Extraordinary to Queen Anne in 1796, George I in 1716, and Physician in Ordinary to George II in 1727.
